I seek an update on Enfield Community College. We have been told that the school project will go to tender later this year. Will the Tánaiste confirm that is the case? Has a framework of project management design team consultants been appointed yet? This framework would comprise architects and civil, structural, mechanical and electrical engineers. Has a contract notice to establish a design and build contractor framework been done? Online searches do not show Enfield Community College listed on the National Development Finance Agency website. Parents and teachers urgently need to know whether the school will be operational for the 2023-24 school year. If work does not commence soon, it will not meet the operational target date of 2023. There are children depending on the building of this school. The teachers, the parents and the community are very worried that children will be left in limbo. Will the Tánaiste clarify whether the school will be ready for the 2023-24 school year?

The planning and building unit within the Department of Education is involved in the designing and building of schools. If the Deputy gives me the details of the project, I can check with that unit and come back to him on it.
